On holidays I usually do something community oriented instead of vacationing. This U.S. Memorial Day I decided to pick trash along the highway near our place and of course the '52 was my companion. This road was first paved by the county, probably early 1950's (they dug the fill dirt for it from our property from what I can tell) and I'm sure there was a B series Dodge doing the work.

Here's a B Series 20 minutes up the road from us in 1950. These black and whites are from a ferry that crossed the Chattahoochee River from the mid 1800's century to the mid 1950's. They're not great as they came from a an Atlanta news paper article about the ferry. Since the article was from 1950, I assume that the Dodge is a 1948-50?

Great picture. What kind of tires are those? I like the way they look.

I took delivery of my Canadian 1942 Fargo FL1 (WC) yesterday. She is fairly stock other than 15" rims and radials, plus 80's red velour covered bench.

Restarting my project after years of it sitting.

Got loads of NOS parts and it is in need of some TLC.

Need to start on the engine now.

I have done the following to it so far.....

 

Cab, doors, fenders, etc. were sent to Arizona and

dipped to remove all rust, this was a non-acid dip.

Entire body including bed have been primed with

DP40 Epoxy primer, interior has a base coat of the

correct dark green, engine compartment has a base

coat of gloss black.

Frame and springs were sandblasted primed with

DP40 Epoxy primer, and have a base coat of gloss

black.

All brake components including lines, slave

cylinders, adjusters and liners are new and

installed.

All spring shackles and hardware, wheel bearings

and seals, king pins, tie rod ends etc. are either

new or NOS, primered, painted (where applicable)

and installed.

Gas tank has been etched and lined with epoxy

tank liner, all lines are new, primered, painted

and installed.

Have the following NOS items, running boards,

seat bottom, crank shaft, most if not all of

the gauges, floor mat, maybe some other stuff.

A new wiring harness has been made to an exact

replica of the original using correct cloth

covered wire but with a modern internal plastic

coating.

Steering wheel and horn button have been

meticulously restored.

Stock tube radio has been rebuilt and works.

Stock hater has been restored and works

 

Basically I have everything needed to assemble this

vehicle and then some...

Three engines (two tore down) (one complete with

transmission and pto) two additional transmissions

(one a fluid drive), two radiators (one dis-assembled),

nine original wheels, four with tires for mobility.

All stainless trim, no glass except for the two round

corners (all other is flat and easily cut from the

existing pieces which are cracked. Most all of the

interior items such as gauge interiors, heater etc.

are primered and painted

 

I have probably left out a bit, I have not looked it over in

quite a while. The vehicle and most all of this has been

stored in the shop but I have two large and one small

crate outside.

I got the Fargo home today after 20 years or so in storage, I bought it in the mid '80s as a project for me and my Dad (he was a garage mechanic and Mopar man) just a few minor things, needs the rear end finished up, brake line and or horn. Not sure what the engine is, it was a rebuilt back in the day, and My Dad and I rebuilt it in the early '90s after a frost plug fell out and it over heated. I had lots of adventures with it, it once was my daily driver, loved it, cruising speed of 45, I have had it up to a mile a minute a few times, felt like the end of the world! 

Model, FM2 - 2 6 

 

Thankyou for having me!

Finally got to the old Gulf station in Quincy, FL just up the road from where I live and took some pictures.  It is not a working station but is set up with all kinds of memorabilia and from the street sure looks like it operates.
